Texans were clearly the better team, but I liked to see that the team atleast didnt give up. I will watch the game completely once the replay shows later on tonight or tomarrow to get a better feel for the game

Okay, instead of watching this game I was somehow convinced to go see the Bills get their throats slashed by the Jets... tailgating was great at least... that took up the whole day...

Anywho, my perception from looking at the boxscore and seeing the highlights was that Murphy hurt the team today by playing with his clavicle injury. IIRC, you could even seeing him wincing in pain after Bruce's last INT. I don't care how weak we are at receiver, you don't hurt the team further by playing through a perceivably unplayable injury. Michael Vick will likely miss his team's next game with a similar injury, although the severity is of a different level, I would believe.

I'll get around to watching the game in its entirety in the coming days. Really interested to see these defensive struggles firsthand (again).

Watching the replay of the game. Biggest problems seems to be we simply cant tackle. Alot of the time we get 1 or 2 guys on the RB but they just break the tackles. Too many arm tackles. Also we got killed on the play action too. Schaub would have all day to pass when they ran the play action. I also think we missed John Henderson this game as well.

Some positives were that Zach Miller and Darren McFadden are elite players. They are the only 2 constant guys we have on offence while DHB, Murphy and others all seem to either have great games or just disappear. Fist game we didnt have alot of flags as well.

Fumbling before the half was over also really killed our team. If we would have got points there I believe we would have won the game.

Gradkowski needs to slide, you can get away with it a few times but as we saw the defense will always hit hard on the Qb every chance they get

Richard Seymour is pretty much our run defense as well. Most all runs that were stopped in the back field were because of Seymour either getting the tackle or him beating his man and disrupting things.
